A review by lizzicrystal
The Maine Woods by Henry David Thoreau

2.0

The rating is so low due to my own enjoyment of it, not the book itself - parts were very interesting (I especially liked the introduction that told what this book meant back then, and Thoreau's appendix listing all the plants and animals he saw during his sojourn in Maine, and the provisions required to make such a trip). I can imagine Transcendentalists of the time were very interested, and as Transcendentalism is a subject that very much interests me, it was fun reading something by a true naturalist, even if I couldn't quite get into it as "for fun" reading.
